Hi Folla,

If I may ask in your sop what was the reason you stated for change of mind and how long did it for ircc to process your application?

@Lawfulness

This scenario happened to me as spouse of an international student, but I am typing from Canada. The solution is to allow your student-spouse enter Canada first, then after about 3 months apply for sowp. The student should write a sop stating why the change in plan and change of mind. Humans are allowed to change their plans over time, and this would not amount to a misrep.

Good luck.

Happy new month and happy (in?)dependence Nigeria,

A big thank you to skull4eva, cooooooks, dukealara and fella for finding time to share your opinions about my situation. I'm grateful

Thank you @skull4eva for taking your time to respond.
As at the time of applying, we were all comfortable with me going first for study and my family coming later. But now I feel like I'm abandoning my family to relocate abroad.But if I have to complete my study before they come, I will have to find a way to deal with it.
Note also that apart from family, job and land were also used as hometies.

I have always advocated that we should desist from using our nuclear family as hometies. It is better to use job, business, landed properties and assets as well as aged parents.
This is how it works whatever u use as hometies is used as a suretee that after your program you will return. Although they also understand that one can change his or her mind after study to stay but during the duration of study the home tie should be there. Now if it is job or business or assets you dont need to take them to canada just sell them off or cancel whatever bond. Now that it is ur family the age might be absolutely right but there might still be ways of escape and this basically depends on your story and present determinations

Hello everyone, Trust you're all well.
Please I need your advice/suggestion.
I recently received my student visa and plan to travel in December. While applying for study visa, I stated in the family section of the form that I will travel alone and used my family as home. My agent told me last week that I have to wait till after Imy graduation before I can apply SOWP for my spouse and for daughter.
What should I do?
Thanks for the anticipated responses.
